1937 and its markings in caps.

From the Maederer site come these images of a cap issued and likely also indeed

made in the year 1937

This is not my property. All the tags and marks are compact in view, ergo the value of these images.

You can see the VA issuance stamp, as well as the leather goods (HB 37) stamp and the RZM tag which I believe came into use at this time, as well.
The RFSS tag emerged in 1934 and also is not seen much after 1937 or 1938.

Another of this type, in which the sweat band is also marked 1937.

This kind of tag is faked, by the way.

Another example. This cap is mine, but the pasty, fleshy fingers are not.....

The cap is on the right, it was that of an SSTV officer and the buttons are marked 1937. The cap on the left is in the Shea Beaver book and I sold it. It looks much better in the book than it did in real life.

The cap on the right is not without signs of time, but it is still a nice piece, because of its SSTV aspect, it is then pretty rare.

and did the young woman in the image affix this tag?

Thank you F.B. for sharing these pictures and your insights. It is my hope to purchase such an item in the not-too-distant future. My delay is to enhance my knowledge in the meantime. Your posts on these items are invaluable. I hope that when the time is right I will make a correct and informed decision. I can appreciate that nothing compares to actually examining items in hand, but these pictures go as close as one could ever ask.
regards. Paul

further data as regards tags and dates et cetera. Only certain of these are mine.
